Hairy Eggshells
While eggs are a favorite food all around the world, the eggshells (蛋壳) are usually thrown away. But you can turn them into seed (种子) pots. You need: eggs, markers, some grass seeds, an egg box and a sponge (海绵) cut into small pieces. Then follow these simple steps:
Step 1 Carefully break each egg into two parts. Try to make one part a lot bigger than the other. Throw away the smaller part. Save the insides, and use them later for cooking.
Step 2 Clean the eggshells. Let them dry.
Step 3 Draw faces on the outsides of the dry eggshells.
Stop 4 Wet each sponge piece. Place a sponge inside each eggshell.
Step 5 Spread some seeds on top of the sponges.
Step 6 Use the egg box to hold the eggshells.
Step 7 Water the eggshells lightly every day. The seeds will sprout (发芽) in about one week, and the eggshell faces will have green hair!

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
12. Which of the following can be a seed pot after Step 1?
